[7leprechaun7]

HEY! who went and colored Mavis blue? It least she's runnin!

[wealllovecheese]

i can hear danny and lez

[KC8YOQ]

I am not a train person! What am I looking at here?

[7leprechaun7]

@KC8YOQ lol dont be scared. Its in England, looks to be an old diesel switcher/shunter. A couple of chaps seem to have come together to try and restore her/getting back to ship-shape. This is the first, possibly biggest step, just getting her to breathe again!

[philip21786]

Second start up in 10 years. When was the first?

[31144]

@philip21786 About 10 mins before this one but I didnt have my camera to hand,it was video'd but I no longer see the guy who did it

[JayScott7172]

@31144 Why has it been out of service for 10 years? Retired?

[31144]

@JayScott7172,It has been through a very comprehensive restoration but no one seemed to be able to get it up and running again untill I turned up

[JayScott7172]

@31144 In that case, congratulations!

[philip21786]

@31144 I see. Well, good video anyway. I like it.

[champignonsmagiques]

My 97 diesel jetta makes a lot more smoke than that.

[RailwaySeriesKB]

is the blue an original colour?

[Phocusali]

It's the well known British Locomotion Gene, putting personal safety behind the urge to get somewhere far away fast using fire. First evidenced in one Richard Trevithic, the virus quickly spread to the Stevensons, then Henry Ford, and finally the Germans got it in the form of Mrs Benz and Werner von Braun. Smoke is a neccessary product of these investigations, unless you're a russian rocketeer. Smart arsed buggers. Stop all this smokey whinging you perfumed nancy daffodil pressers.

[aleksejunas]

Is it a two stroke diesel?

[kodack10]

Aww bollocks!

[31144]

@MightyJustas Why are we douches ??? douche bag ??

[31144]

@MightyJustas You really should get to an opticians as you have obviously missed the monumental fact that the 3 VERY large up and over doors on the rear of the depot are in fact open (its dark outside),P.S one of the idiots is in fact me !! (the guy on the right), as for working conditions,we do this for free at weekends so who are we going to sue for these terrible conditions ! ! !,touch of sarcasm there but I doubt youll get it

[MightyJustas]

@31144 whatever you say

[steamperson1]

@MightyJustas i think you'll find that 90% of the british voulenteers do this kind of thing as regular practice, safe or unsafe!

[marty072]

@MightyJustas where do you come from Mighty Justas??

[BoatManBeats]

@MightyJustas If they wanna die, let em, Thats they're business. Stop being a 14 year old Girl about it... 0o

[TheLegendaryDman]

Excuse me... this is NOT an alternative to smoking...

[31144]

[TwoEPB]

[moto11ed]

[31144]

@moto11ed He did !!! how naughty

[TheSquerl101]

idiots, should have done this in a ventilated area. exhaust fumes

[31144]

@TheSquerl101 and I'll bet you are a non smoking,alcohol free,non risk taking,speed limit obeying,namby liberal ? get a life and get real and also get to spec savers as you may have missed the fact that the 3 rather large up and over depot doors are wide open ?

[OMGturd]

look at the crappy lil train beside it.

[foughtwolf]

@OMGturd

Thats an old Saddle tank steam engine, most definitely not crappy.

[Killercore20]

[50012Benbow]

[ioukkj]

[gtdude81]

[31144]

Paxman Ventura YXL V6 of 650 BHP

[littlepouser2]

it was a rustion engineas far as i know

[31144]

No it wasnt,they have never had Ruston engines in,they have only ever had Paxman Ventura's in or my mates one has a Rolls Royce DV8 in it but that was a conversion

[tomkkkkk]

so a train like that would only be good for 2-3 units pulling people/passengers?

[KSE828]

@ 1:17 it does.

[Dean57010]

Is that a Teddy bear?

[31144]

Yes it is

[jazzyjaxroadshow]

does it move?

[31144]

Yes it does

[KSE828]

Thing sounds like a friggin truck!

[31144]

No it doesnt

[littlepouser2]

nope i do not think so

[stavy75]

I remember she was always problematic from my time there, nice to see some more diesels up there too.... mind we are talking 15 years ago!!

[31144]

Hey Stavy you should come back up mate,we've got a good little diesel crew up there now,still got a few dickheads mind but you grow to ignore them,lol

[stavy75]

Yes, unfortunately they are everywhere in life! :),I defo will next time in the area. I wouldn't mind talking a look at bolton abbey it looks great compared to how I last remember it....

[SteffanLlwyd]

Clean exhaust for an old diesel....

[318Captain]

whats up with the steamer to the right? the little green one...

[toober529]

"argh, bollocks!" lol

[RichardSwayne]

MY LORDZ!

[piperpilot]

Not long after this , I was behind this Class 14 on the Diesel Gala at the loop when the engine stopped , it took a couple attempts to get started again.

[31144]

She suffers from a tempremental low oil pressure shut down switch so after a bit of a thrash she sometimes shuts down when the oil gets hot,will be fixed very soon along with a much needed oil change

[bronzeonion]

wehey!!!! faved!

[antphilp]

I see from many observers that many folks need there eyes testing, the doors are grey with small windows and unless I am blind those three doors are open and its dark outside.........

[SR722]

Might want to open a door there, lol.

[gingerkin]

they are open

[SR722]

I see now, for some reason I didn't expect it to be dark outside.

[gingerkin]

same here they look shut so i can see why peole make that assumption

[JrockerForLife]

Might want to add a high volume exhaust fan or something in the roof. or a gas mask for all workers >_>

[No32ElrProductions]

Teddy Clag!!!:)

[RustonDave]

Good work, must pop down and see it face to face ;)

[ZZ327]

[roodashtonhall2k8]

yeah forget it

[loonies125]

[31144]

To all the numpties wafflin on about fumes,yes they are bad for you if for instance you where doing this kind of thing day in day out for 20 odd years,as this was a one off on one day only for a maximum of an hour then i think we may be ok !!!!!!!!

[rudolphna54]

its a carbon monoxide thing, it doesnt take 20 years to kill you. this is why you arents upposed to run generators, lawnmowers, snowblowers etc in your garage or house. Doersnt takea much to kill you

[gamwam]

its diesel!,.. it contains only a very low level of co compared to gasoline engines exhaust,.. why do you think so there are so few suicide death attempts by people using a hose hooked to a diesel car?,..becasue with diesel, you choke before you pass out!,..where as with gas,. you pass out before anything else,.trust me i know

[Slarty252]

don't start it inside you planks, That stuffs bad for you ,Ain't it?

[Yownanymous]

If you ask me, starting it up like that in a confined shed is getting close to suicidal!

[hotfuzz459]

eugh that doesnt sound good

[31144]

May I suggest you go and get your ears syringed my friend

[thatguyoverthere45]

may i suggest you go and put your head through a circular saw at the nearst saw mill

[gamwam]

[AgentHog]

[MrTard]

They must use a different kind of diesel in trains than lorries, because the lorries that pull into my warehouse fucking stink, it makes me feel sick.

[ews66]

[fgh456pc]
